ETIQUETTES FOR WIVES
Submitted by admin on
Rasulullaah (sallAllahualahi wasallam) has stated, “The woman who offers her
five times salah, fasts in the month of Ramadhan, protects her
honour and respect, and obeys her husband has the choice of
entering Jannah from whichever door she wishes to enter from.”
Rasulullaah (sallAllahualahi wasallam) said, “The woman who passes away in
such a state that her husband is happy with her will enter
Jannah.”
Rasulullaah (sallAllahualahi wasallam) said, “Were I to command anyone to
prostrate to anyone besides Allaah, I would have commanded the
woman to prostrate to her husband. If the husband orders the
wife to carry the boulders of one mountain to the next, and then
to a third, she will have to do this.”
1.) Obey your husband in all permissible matters. This will draw
the mercy of Allaah Ta'ala. Rasulullaah (sallAllahualahi wasallam) said, “The best
of women is she who makes her husband feel happy when he
glances at her; she obeys him when he instructs her and she does
not oppose him in regard to herself and her wealth by doing what
he dislikes.”
2.) When your husband enters the home, always make salaam
cheerfully and give him a warm affectionate smile, no matter
how difficult your day may have been. Similarly, when he leaves
home in the morning, make a point of kissing him and making
salaam. Salaam is a means of engendering great love and
happiness in the home.
3.) If you had a difficult or tiring day, try to appear cheerful. Do
not make a point of making your husband aware as soon as he
enters the house. This could cause him to become angry.
Gradually, try to win his compassion and sympathy. (to be continued)
